Finally, a report in the Irish Examiner on 16 January stated the HSE suggested charities' cash reserves offer a chance to cut grants. A further report related to the HSE's internal audit and findings. Will Mr. O'Brien comment on these? With regard to the internal audit having found various problems within the system throughout the country, have these problems been addressed? I would like to go into more detail on this, but will not do so today. Is there a mechanism within the HSE for a rapid response to the queries raised in the newspaper article or in the HSE report? Will Mr. O'Brien tell us whether there will be cutbacks because of the cash reserves people have?
